You won't BELIEVE the fuel burn! Scimitar 1010

[@Leftplayer1]

New drinking game: a shot each time Dan says “no nonsense”, down a beer each time Dan says “protected by the keel”….

[@mz22wa]

“No nonsense” is code for “this boat is basic as all shit and they haven’t changed it since the late 80s”

[@bobjuniel8683]

I found this really confusing. How many litres of fuel does the boat hold? How far can it travel at 6 knots, 8 knots, 10 knots, 12 knots, 14 knots 16 knots 18 knots, and 20 knots per hour, and so on up to full speed? I am used to kilometres per litre at a given speed in kilometres per hour. Most boat channels start with revolutions per minute, then speed attained at those revolutions. How many nautical miles does a boat travel at one knot? Then I can understand 7 knots per minute? Per hour? Will travel a certain distance. Shouldn't we be thinking nautical miles per litre, just as we think miles per UK gallon, US gallon or easier kilometres per litre? Maybe I drifted and missed when you stated the all important fuel tank capacity of the Scimitar 1010, and the top speed in various sea states. Weather and sea states dramatically affect cruising range. I have heard some experienced boat people suggest that one should always have fuel and water tanks half full when returning to refuel and resupply. Running out of fuel in the middle of an ocean is not a good idea.

I would believe it, I've driven a few of them. Please do the 1770 if possible.

[@marshmellow3110]

Anywhere close to a mill for this rig is outrageous. Love the look and cockpit though. Love to see what she does w double the horsepower.

[@darthkek1953]

Half a mill UK for that fuel burn though. Aquaholic had an interview with an old Princess owner who'd just SeaTag'd the thing up. He drove a few miles down the coast for the day and it cost him 8,000 AUD in diesel for the day so he sold the boat.

[@stephentaylor8217]

Looks like a great boat for Keys & Bahamas... shallow draft.. simple design.

[@danleicester6875]

Now do a full walk through and fuel burn on the 1770- cos that’s a boat I would be interested in - the 1010 is lovely but too small for live aboard and too large to store unless you have waterfront property of your own Sorry I forgot my manners - please do the 1770 next - thank you and love your channel

The Holden Belmont.

[@marekhrin3034]

7 knots something at 1800 now 2800 rpm 6.2 knots? Did I miss something or did you mix up the consumption and knots?

[@pauls3075]

I heard that too he meant 16.2 knots. Later on 9:05 he's doing 15knots at 2700 rpm.

[@TedKidd]

20L at 12 13 at 10 8 at 8 4mpg at 8 knots

[@hildablanco1591]

If the boat has one engine go out the other won't let you steer but if it had twin cat diesel stern six drives one engine could bring you to Harbor

[@joeordinary209]

What? You say at 6:07 6,2 knots ? Looking much faster?

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

No 16kts

[@joeordinary209]

@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife OK ! But it sounds like You are saying " I am getting six point two knots" at 6:07. Anyway a very nice cat!

[@marvindebot3264]

@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife You had better post a correction, you say six point two.

[@marshmellow3110]

18.4mph at 7gph. Pretty damned impressive. Aside from him saying 6.2 knots. 😂

Yes absolutely

[@daveok7131]

How much?

[@glennsatt]

1.175m aud

[@alexpervanoglu7420]

​@@glennsattSeriously ? That is way way over priced.

[@glennsatt]

@@alexpervanoglu7420 that is what I found when I looked for this model for sale. I imagine you could get 10-15% off. I agree it (as most boats) is vastly over priced. Cheers!

[@MitchieToddy]

@@glennsatt I think this one is $975,000 AUD (its in the description) and the more expensive ones listed have a lot of extra options installed

What dort if licence i need to drive this?

[@darthkek1953]

Jet bomber, nuclear submarine or TIE fighter.

[@ralph9987]

My cummins 3.3 uses 2.2L/hr at 1800rpm. Not sure this would be classified as "low" fuel consumption. Btw, "no nonsense" =cheap

[@hildablanco1591]

Twin straight six cat would be better

[@billhanna5455]

89$ filled the yacht for 4 months & 1255 miles ?

[@sharonbraselton3135]

2.5 liters per hour idel

[@olearycwilliams2741]

What type of licence.

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Depends on which country. For example NZ doesn't have a licence system for boats yet so you just go boating and don't be silly. UK on the other hand likes to babysit everyone a lot more so it really depends on where you are. But in general a standard boating licence covering this length should be fine.

[@sharonbraselton3135]

13 liter at 6 knots 3.333 gph bit very slow soeed

[@gordanmirkovic]

Actually, it was 16 knots. Dan made mistake/pronounced it wrong

[@sharonbraselton3135]

This why we dunt anyway hunatee too sliw fir god dunt wat slow efect speed give us 21 knots same cunsuimotuon beter

[@clarencejoseph2917]

That boat should cruise comfortably at 30 knots! Pathetically slow and under powered.

[@garryrobson]

Dan, that looked more like 15-20kn than 6.2!?!? And if it was 6.2kn, 13L per hour per side would be toooo much.

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Yes I miss spoke i meant to say 16

Yeah, Nah, 1 Toilet and Shower and right next to the Living area and Kitchen, No thanks, No shade out back, and we live in QLD the Sun Cancer capital of the world, and if the weather turns the ride back to home, no protection up there from the rain from any angle, plus no internal stairs for the same reason, your wet before you even set sail and dangerous wet ladder.
